Actually, the ball deflectors are tied to the bridge with a length of small diameter wire rope. When the bridge is pushed down on one side, the other side is lifted up. Since the ball deflector is tied to it, the ball deflector on the high side is lifted also, increasing the angle. See this video: at about 52 seconds.
